This story isn't much but it is what sticks out most in my head -- funny how so many of these are the total newb stories.
I found EQ on my own and didn't know anyone who played it, so I had to learn everything the hard way. My first character was an Erudite Magician, and after probably 2 weeks of trying to level in Toxx I finally hit level 4 and bought my pet spell. I tried to cast it but it said I needed Malachite, so I looked up where to buy it. I have no clue what site I was on but I somehow fell under the impression that malachite was only sold in Ak'anon. I'm fairly certain it took me over a week of off and on playing to make it from Erudin to ak'anon, and probably several hours to find the malachite vendor in the gnome city. I bought 2 malachites since it was what I could afford, went outside, cast pet, and had a great time plowing over things for awhile. Until I got in over my head and died. And respawned in Erudin. I deleted the mage and made a chanter which I mained until I quit around OOW.

That's awesome.
I deleted my first character a few weeks after release because at level 5 I had completely run out of food and water, wouldn't regen mana or health and spent every copper I had on cloth armor. I was too proud to ask someone for food / drink so I just started a new character. | ||

I like all the individual stories from the p99 players...but kind of annoyed that I have to scroll past a bunch of really old and really long stories that have been copied to death....let's keep it original.

I doubt this will elicit tons of laughs, but this is one of my favorite times of EQ past.
I was a human... paladin maybe... a newbie (as usual, I think levels 1-20 were my favorite. Never made it to any high-end content) wandering around outside of Blackburrow and whooping on some gnolls, when my sister comes over along with her son who must have been 4 at the time. He's always been fascinated by watching me play games, but was a really shy kid and never wanted to play himself. No biggie, he seemed to get enough enjoyment out of just watching. Whatever. The problem arises because my sister was a tremendously overbearing parent. She takes ESRB at their word and never fudges on movie ratings or anything like that, so we have to keep it strictly non-violent (or at least something cartoony like Super Mario Bros). However, as I'm sure you've all experienced, I was addicted and wasn't about to camp out. As a good friend of mine once said, "It's not like you can level up at the movies or anything." The gnoll slaying continued as my nephew quietly spectates for a good while. I'm not sure if it was the innocent justice often found in children or just naivete, but eventually the obvious questions start to come out. "What are those? Are they bad guys?" I ponder this for a second. "Yeah," I say. "Well, no. They're trying to steal our land, I think. Cuz we took it from them first. They're like Indians, I guess." "So you have to kill them?" My own character is being challenged here, as for a moment or two I'm actually considering the consequences of my hostility toward these animals. I imagine Mrs. Darkpaw raising her children alone whilst fielding an incessant query of phone calls notifying her that her husband has been killed... again. Soon enough I come back to my senses, though to be entirely honest I don't disagree with his mother's concern. This kid's at a malleable stage right now and doesn't necessarily need to think that his uncle says killing natives is not only okay, but a pleasant way to spend your weeknights. Basically, I'm glad that Squirtle only faints or gets knocked out and so on. Death is a heavy topic for a youngster to have to deal with. I decide to take inspiration from his Pokemon interest. "Well, see, I'm not killing them. I'm like... the sandman or something. I have to go around putting these guys to sleep with my, um... sleep stick!" Not terribly clever, sure. Except for the fact that they're dogs and I'm putting them to sleep. See? It's a half truth. I play on. "Hey there, puppy! Night night!" *whack* He seemed to have bought it, to which I must say 4 year-olds are idiots. We wasted the next 3 hours scavenging the Hills for harmless animals to bring sweet dreams to and all the while, he was cheering me on, yelling, "Go to sleep!" at every mob I encountered. Bonding. Man, what a good time. | ||

So I hear about this game from friends at work and we are all going to play, so I buy the game get it installed and load it up.
Then I find out there are servers here, so I just pick the one on top (this was when new servers were put up there to draw people). I make a ranger because well rangers were awesome in D&D they should rule in a game like this right? (insert laughter from fellow rangers here) Hmmm stats... stamina is always good right, hit points yeah that makes sense, and oh agility is seems like a good stat as well. Finally I log into gfay and am amazed... this place is HUGE... turn in my scroll at the guild leader and I'm told to go hunt pixies & orcs. Cool I can do this. Start hunting and I hear the most wonderful sound in the world... DING! Ok cool now what do I do. Random person: "go to your guild leader" I'm thinking ok... thats easy enough he was just up the lift right... so I spend 30 minutes looking around kelethin trying to find guild leader and say screw it. Though I did manage to put a bunch of copper in the bank. So I keep leveling and getting copper and am eccstatic when I loot a cracked staff I finally have 1P in my bank I feel so cool. A week goes by... I'm watching auctions and want to buy something they are selling for 5pp. Now this saddens me (granted I'm level 6 right now and still haven't found my guild since I first logged into the game). So I send the guy a tell asking if he'll take copper for the item. He then explains to me how to change money at the bank and I"m thinking wow... I had amassed about 20pp in copper and silver during my time hunting. So I bought the bronze armor... and then ended up selling it to a merchant when I found out I couldn't wear it. Finally at level 7 I found my guild and all was good in the world. Never did re-roll those stats either.
